In case you are asking such a relationship in India then I'm sorry such a relationship has no legal sanction & is not legally valid relationship. There are no legal liabilities or responsibilities attached to such relationship. No insurance cover or maintenance or alimony allowed legally as a legally married spouse can avail. The legitimacy of children born in such relationship will always be in question. The Indian society, religion & legal system do not allow such relationship. Any lady who will be asked to join in such relationship will not be able to enjoy the status of wife & any provisions of law that relates to relief to a wife will not be applicable to her. No inheritance rights to any of the partner applicable which a legally married spouse enjoys in case of any death of either of these during this relationship. Considering all such major legal issues such relationship is not at all advisable to any one at least in India.

The pros and cons of live-in relationships are very similar to the pros and cons of living with somebody you are married to, except the legal protection is weaker in most places of the world.
You would find a suitable partner for this in the same way you would find a suitable partner for any relationship.

I've heard that if you live with your partner beforehand, there is a less likely chance of ever getting married and if you do, your happiness decreases or something.
On the other hand, isn't it a good idea know your partner's daily routine??
As for finding a partner, start dating, I guess. After your in a committed relationship for a while (like, at least a year) then discuss living together

It is saying that the marriage is happening in heaven. It has a very deep meaning. This refers to the world drama cycle. When a soul takes a body (birth), everything regarding its life, relations, fortune, misfortune everything is predetermined. No body, even the God cannot change it or prevent it from happening. When the soul finishes enacting his pre-determined role it will leave that body and take another new body according to its actions from the previous life. Those souls who comes under "karmic bondage" will join together in their worldly life and will settle their "Karmic account" whether good or bad as the case may be.
So pros and cons of life cannot be defined or determined by bodily being. It is as per your actions. Good and elevated actions will reward you with good and noble life in your next life (of course you will reap some of the fruit of your actions in this life itself). Therefore we are at a stage of reaping the reward of our previous life actions and at the same time planting the sapling for our next life experiences. Therefore don't be confused about getting suitable partner. Whatever is written in your name will only come to you.

I don't see anything wrong with living together before marriage. My boyfriend and I live together and we do plan on getting married one day. I hear people say if you live together before marriage there will be more problems in the marriage. I think the opposite. You live with some one before marriage and you know exactly how that person acts, what they like, when they want to be left alone, etc. A couple who moves in together after marriage is more likely to get divorced than a couple who have been living together a couple of years before the vows. Besides, what relationship DOESN'T have problems?!?!?

Marriage is a lopsided legal agreement totally favoring the female. There is still such thing a alimony. So unless you want to have children that are not bastards it is dumb for the guy to enter into this legal contract.
Living together has all the benefits of marriage for the guy without the legal pitfalls. A small social stigma is attached, but no big thing nowdays.
But my advice is to never live with someone that you wouldn't marry.

Pros and Cons starts from any one of you, due to mis understanding and carelessness.
It is not easy to get a suitable partner.
This requires compromise on many things.
Understanding, caring, sharing, giving and taking from both sides shall definitely avoid any pros and cons.

Pros:
Easy to get in and out of.
Can rent together with no problems.
Cons:
Can't give/receive medical advice.
Can't put on health insurance.
Not required to leave you any life insurance to bury them.
Not good in God's eyes - will cause problems.
Resentment will start to come up.
My advice, I did the live-in thing. It was horrible. I did it with the same guy I ended up marrying, and our marriage situation is a whole lot better than our shack-up situation.

Live-in relationships are MUCH more likely to end badly. You just want to taste the milk without buying the cow. We all know this, so stop trying to make it sound like something it's not. If you're going to be a sinner, than at least admit it.
